I was born in a neighbourhood of Athens that separates Kolonaki, an area frequented by politicians and celebrities, from Exarchia, a district favoured by rebels, intellectuals and artists. The location probably helped turn me into a journalist: caught between sides, seeking answers. I returned to the Greek capital as a Reuters correspondent in 2007, on the eve of a decade-long debt crisis. I covered riots, anti-austerity protests, bailout negotiations and repeated elections. The country's struggle for change marked that period and contributed to an Athens' makeover.

For centuries, Florence’s 16th-century Vasari Corridor was only accessible to dukes and lords. Now, the raised passageway that connects the city’s Uffizi Galleries to the former residence of the powerful Medici family, has reopened to the public after an eight-year restoration project. The corridor, named after the Renaissance architect and biographer Giorgio Vasari, who designed it, is some 750 meters (820 yards) long. It stretches from the Uffizi Museums to the imposing Palazzo Pitti, passing over Ponte Vecchio above the tiny historic jewelry boutiques that cross the Arno river. The corridor was built by Florence’s powerful Medici family to allow them to move secretly and safely from one part of the historic Italian city to another. “It’s a reopening that allows us to conne...
